NYSE Euronext (NYX) unveiled a plan to save $250 million in annual expenses by the end of 2014 as the exchange company refocuses on its independent strategy after the European Union blocked its planned merger with Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1.XE, DBOEF).

The effort aims to more closely integrate technology used to power NYSE Euronext's markets, "streamline" its organization and trim the company's business portfolio, according to documents prepared by the company for its annual investor day.

NYSE Euronext Chief Financial Officer Michael Geltzeiler and Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Leibowitz will lead the effort, according to the company. The plan seeks to trim $90 million in technology-related costs and $90 million in infrastructure costs, with an anticipated $70 million in savings derived from taking clearing functions in-house and other portfolio moves.

The New York firm expects to achieve about one-quarter of the cost savings by the end of 2012 and 60% by the end of 2013.
